North Dakota Travel Industry Conference
With Andrew Davis
Heather and the Planning Committee,
It was fantastic (and such fun) chatting with you yesterday about the 2026 North Dakota Travel Industry Conference in Grand Forks! I'm so excited about the opportunity to work with 200 destination marketers who are shaping North Dakota's travel industry.
After our conversation, I spent some time crafting the perfect combination for this year's event: the "Digital Doppelgänger" keynote for Tuesday, April 14th, plus a three-hour pre-conference AI workshop that will give your attendees hands-on experience building their own AI assistant.
Below, you'll find the session descriptions we've crafted for the event as well as everything that's included in our fee. You'll also find an overview of the event experiences we've created for over 250,000 attendees in the last decade.
I'm looking forward to making the April conference a truly memorable milestone for the North Dakota travel community!
Let's make this happen!

Digital Doppelgänger(s)
How savvy destination marketers are augmenting their unique talents using the magic of AI.
Artificial Intelligence feels like magic.
Draft a smart prompt, and presto! ChatGPT conjures up your destination blog posts, crafts your visitor email campaigns, devises your tourism content strategy, and generates engaging social media posts that showcase your destination's best attractions. You can even commission Google's Gemini to respond to intricate group travel inquiries!
AI is truly awe-inspiring. But most AI-generated content, emails, and strategies are generic at best, and nonsense at worst.
That is, until you start building your Digital Doppelgänger.
Your Digital Doppelgänger is your AI-powered creative collaborator. Your virtual twin. They're your brainstorming partner, confidant, writing counterpart, and strategic advisor.
Your Digital Doppelgänger isn't just AI. They are IA: Intelligence Augmentation. They don't replace your skills. They enhance your destination marketing talents. (Of course, they have the power to destroy too.)
In this exhilarating 45-minute session, Andrew Davis (and his Digital Doppelgänger) will show you how to build your very own AI-powered creative collaborators. He'll show you the four-step iterative process one savvy marketer uses to augment their unique writing style, saving 39 valuable working hours. You'll even witness AI's power to destroy trust and learn the only way to avoid it.
Most importantly, Andrew will demonstrate why AI can make YOU more valuable than ever.
So, are you ready to create your first Digital Doppelgänger?
The Magic Of AI
Amplifying Destination Marketers' Creativity with AI (A 3-Hour Immersive Experience)
Artificial Intelligence feels like magic for destination marketers.
Draft a smart prompt, and presto! ChatGPT conjures up your destination blog posts, crafts your visitor email campaigns, and devises your tourism content calendar. You can even commission Google's Gemini to respond to intricate traveler inquiries, create compelling Instagram captions that showcase your hidden gems, generate engaging Facebook posts that drive trip planning, and craft TikTok scripts that make your destination go viral!
AI is truly awe-inspiring. But most AI-generated content, emails, and strategies are generic at best, and nonsense at worst.
That is, until you start building your Digital Doppelgänger.
Your Digital Doppelgänger is your AI-powered creative collaborator. Your virtual twin. They're your brainstorming partner, confidant, writing counterpart, and strategic advisor for all your destination marketing initiatives.
Your Digital Doppelgänger isn't just AI. They are IA: Intelligence Augmentation. They don't replace your creative skills. They enhance your destination marketing talents. (Of course, they have the power to destroy your destination's authentic voice too.)
In this immersive 3-hour workshop, Andrew Davis (alongside his own Digital Doppelgänger) will guide you through the complete journey of conceptualizing, creating, and implementing your AI-powered creative ally.
You'll discover the four-step iterative process one savvy marketer uses to augment their unique writing style, saving 39 valuable working hours every month. Andrew will show you how to maintain your destination's authentic voice while leveraging AI to scale your tourism content production. You'll even witness AI's power to destroy trust and learn the only way to avoid marketing disasters.
Then, it's time to build your own! Bring your laptop and open your ChatGPT account as Andrew walks you through the hands-on process of creating your destination marketing Doppelgänger. Together, you'll turn those repetitive tourism content tasks that drain your creative energy into opportunities for AI assistance.
Have a visitor guide description that feels tedious to write? Need to repurpose your latest destination blog post for six different social platforms? Looking to create personalized email sequences for different traveler segments? Want to generate compelling images in Nano Banana or videos in Sora2 that capture your destination's unique character? Let's ChatGPT it! Andrew will show you how to harness AI not just for text, but also to ideate and create stunning visuals and video content that showcase your destination. You'll transform generative AI into the most enthusiastic, friendly, efficient, and intelligent creative collaborator you've ever worked with across all your tourism content formats.
By the end of these three hours together, you'll leave with:
- Your own functioning Digital Doppelgänger built specifically for your destination marketing needs and your creative powers
- Specialized AI collaborators for text, image, and video content that capture your destination's essence
- Simple techniques to generate visually compelling graphics and video concepts that inspire travel
- Strategies to continuously improve your AI partners while maintaining your destination's unique voice
- The confidence to leverage AI as an enhancement to your destination marketing talents, not a replacement - and to do it openly with pride.
Most importantly, Andrew will demonstrate why AI can make YOU, the destination marketer, more valuable than ever.
So, are you ready to create your Digital Doppelgänger and revolutionize your destination marketing workflow?
